INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION: Violation(s) Noted
INSPECTION_COMMENT: Complete inspection conducted in response to OGI referral concerning frac tanks on location and corrosion issues with production tanks. Act 9 sign posted at site entrance (Photo 1). ERP and PPC plan were on site (Photo 2). Recommend replacing all plans to reflect change in ownership. Well appears to be equipped for production. Well label is in place on well head. (Photos 5/6/14/16) Production tanks are showing signs of corrosion, specifically around access panel on production tank 2. Conductance reading taking directly below corroded area (Photo 10) indicates possible leakage of brine/production fluids (9960 microsiemens). Recommend repairing/maintenance/or replacing tank. Standing water within secondary containment has conductance readings (9680 microsiemens) indicative of brine/production fluid (Photo 16). Tear in secondary containment synthetic liner (Photo 11) discovered. Recommend Operator inspect entire liner and repair/replace to ensure adequate containment of brine/production fluids. There appeared to be a small area of discolored soils north of secondary containment structure (Photos 7 & 8). Conductance reading taken in this area (Photo 7) was 1500 microsiemens. Additional area of concern was located along drainage swale east of secondary containment (Photo 9). Conductance reading in this area was 1270 microsiemens. These conductance readings would suggest migration of brine/production fluid outside secondary containment. Recommend Operator remediate these areas of contaminated soils and stabilize by revegetating the area with perennial grasses. The final area of concern is located between the production tank area and well head (Photo 13). Conductance readings taken in this area showed a reading of 1410 microsiemens (Photo 12). This appears to be the area where frac tanks were previously stored (documented in IR 3246073). Recommend Operator remediate this area of all contaminated soil/gravel and place clean gravel to eliminate low spot. Additionally, the Department is requesting information concerning frac tanks that were observed on this site on 09/03/2021 and documented in IR 3246073. Information should include what was being stored in these tanks, the purpose of the tanks on this site, how long they were on site, and when they were removed from site. Information concerning the frack tanks can be submitted with Operator's NOV response. Request Operator determine and provide quantity of release, how quantity was determined, what was released, and duration of release in their NOV response. The Department requests all waste manifests for contaminated soils that are removed during remediation be provided electronically upon availability. Violations are being cited for discharge of production fluids to the ground and failure to update ERP. Pending Operator's response, more violations may be forthcoming.

INSPECTOR: CISLO, JOHN
INSPECTION_SOURCE: SAIR
INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION: Violation(s) Noted
INSPECTION_COMMENT: Inspection conducted in response to a complaint received by the Department of corroded production tanks and possible leak. Arrived on-site at approx. 1130 to conduct investigation. Well appeared equipped for production. No well label was observed on any of the production equipment on site. Recommend Operator affix permanent well label IAW the regulations. Well posting was present but has the wrong permit number on posting (Photo 3). Recommend Operator re-post with the appropriate and correct information for this well. Background conductance reading was taken in a field west of well pad (Photo 1). Conductance value in this location was 170 micro Siemens. Heavy corrosion was observed on production tanks. Holes have developed along the south and west sides of tank (Photos 2/4/5/8/9/10). A large hole (2'x2') has developed on the west side of tank. Production fluid/brine observed approx. 3" below large hole (Photo 5). Conductance of liquid in tank was 14,500 micro Siemens (Photo 6). Tank was located within earthen berm. Conductance readings were taken along the ground on the south and south-west sides of tank (Photos 4 & 8). Values were 3,740 & 4,510 micro Siemens respectively. These values were well above the background conductance reading and indicate a release of production fluid/brine onto the ground. Request Operator determine and provide quantity of release, the method how the quantity was determined, and the duration of the release. Recommend the Operator immediately remove all production fluid/brine from the production tank for proper disposal. It is also recommended that this production tank be removed and impacted soils beneath/adjacent to tank be delineated and areas impacted remediated. Production tank should be replaced once remediation is completed and confirmed by both the Operator and Department. NOTE: Conductance readings taken along the earthen berm were at background. It does not appear at this time that the release has migrated laterally. Violations are being cited related to the release of fluids to the ground and well label/posting. Pending Operator's response, additional violations may be cited.

MUNICIPALITY: Nicholson Twp
INSPECTOR: CISLO, JOHN
INSPECTION_SOURCE: SAIR
INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION: Violation(s) Noted
INSPECTION_COMMENT: Inspection conducted in response to a complaint received by the Department of corroded production tanks and possible leak. Arrived on-site at approx. 1130 to conduct investigation. Well appeared equipped for production. No well label was observed on any of the production equipment on site. Recommend Operator affix permanent well label IAW the regulations. Well posting was present but has the wrong permit number on posting (Photo 3). Recommend Operator re-post with the appropriate and correct information for this well. Background conductance reading was taken in a field west of well pad (Photo 1). Conductance value in this location was 170 micro Siemens. Heavy corrosion was observed on production tanks. Holes have developed along the south and west sides of tank (Photos 2/4/5/8/9/10). A large hole (2'x2') has developed on the west side of tank. Production fluid/brine observed approx. 3" below large hole (Photo 5). Conductance of liquid in tank was 14,500 micro Siemens (Photo 6). Tank was located within earthen berm. Conductance readings were taken along the ground on the south and south-west sides of tank (Photos 4 & 8). Values were 3,740 & 4,510 micro Siemens respectively. These values were well above the background conductance reading and indicate a release of production fluid/brine onto the ground. Request Operator determine and provide quantity of release, the method how the quantity was determined, and the duration of the release. Recommend the Operator immediately remove all production fluid/brine from the production tank for proper disposal. It is also recommended that this production tank be removed and impacted soils beneath/adjacent to tank be delineated and areas impacted remediated. Production tank should be replaced once remediation is completed and confirmed by both the Operator and Department. NOTE: Conductance readings taken along the earthen berm were at background. It does not appear at this time that the release has migrated laterally. Violations are being cited related to the release of fluids to the ground and well label/posting. Pending Operator's response, additional violations may be cited.

The Project Description in the Project Information Page for the Herriott Well Connect project states:
Laurel Mountain Midstream, LLC (LMM) intends to construct an approximate 8,943-foot long, 16-inch diameter underground steel natural gas pipeline. The purpose of the project is to support LMM’s natural gas operations from the Marcellus shale formation, which provides a key source of energy for the United States. The Herriott Well Connect will begin at the existing Herriott Well Pad at 39.898098°, -79.879368° and extend to the northeast to the existing Zalac Well Pad at 39.905296°, 79.857525°. The total project area and limit of disturbance for the Herriott Well Connect consists of approximately 16.3 acres.

<https://www.dep.pa.gov/PublicParticipation/OfficeofEnvironmentalJustice/Pages/default.aspx>). There are supposed to be enhanced public participation requirements for permits in environmental justice areas, but news of this actually ever happening is scarce. In Fayette County, the entirety of Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German Townships are environmental justice areas, as well as a large part of Dunbar Township. DEP's policy document on public participation guidelines for environmental justice areas is located here:
<https://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/Get/Version-48671/012-0501-002.pdf>
eNOTICE records are likely to list the same permit multiple times, as that permit moves through the DEP process.
Oil & Gas Wells designated with a site a number and the letter H typically designate horizontal wells.

This compilation from the above sources was done in part by hand using copy and paste and in part using automated methods; it may omit relevant permits.
Parcel data is provided via the tax records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment Office (http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/). Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are determined as the mapped parcel containing a given latitude and longitude, are a best effort determination which is subject to error, and are not official. In cases where a facility is leased and there is a separate parcel id for the lease, if this parcel id is not separately mapped, the parcel id shown will be the id for the enclosing parcel. Parcel owners may be surface owners only and may or may not have any relationship to oil & gas facilities.
Does not currently include water supply permits. Does not include landfill permits even though many such are for Marcellus Shale waste. (It is not possible at this time to distinguish which landfill permits are for Marcellus Shale waste and which are not without doing File Review for each permit.)
Erosion & Sedimentation permit records do not currently include latitude and longitude. Where I am publishing latitude and longitude with E&S permits it is by inferring an associated well permit and using published latitude and longitude for the well. It is possible I may be inferring the wrong well site.
Municipalities are shown from eFACTS records on the DEP web site. The DEP has been known to list a municipality incorrectly.
